Colourful city, beautiful green lake, aperitivo, pasta and gelato – perfect combination for amazing holidays in Italy. This past summer we found la dolce vita when we spent a week in Trento and around Lake Garda. I love holidays where I can combine exploring a city and then relax at the beach. Trento is great […]
Recap of the year 2021
What a year 2021 has been! My daughter Gaja was born in September (more on this below), which means that I was pregnant for the majority of the year and after giving birth I was adjusting to the new life of being a mum. This, in addition to coronavirus still being a big part of […]
First trip with a baby: winter wonderland in Kranjska Gora

My 5 favourite day trips in Slovenia this year
2021 is still, at least for me, a year full of local trips in my home country Slovenia. As for the majority of the year I was pregnant (I still am and impatiently waiting for my baby, which is well past her due date at the moment, to arrive), with coronavirus and its many changing […]
Bariloche: a taste of Patagonia for non-hikers
It’s been five years since my first overseas solo trip to the south of South America. But my mind still goes back to those special travel memories. One of my favourite stops on the trip was definitely San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina. After 19 hours on overnight bus I was greeted to Patagonia with […]

Russians conquered this area already in the second half of the 19th century and stayed until 1991 when Uzbekistan declared independence. In times of the Soviet Union […]
Recap of the year 2020
Oh what a year this has been for travelling. I spent majority of time in Ljubljana, capital of my home country Slovenia, where I live. We had two long periods with restriction of movements between municipalities and some time with milder restriction of movement between regions, in total almost 5 months of lockdown. So it […]
5 Austrian cities to visit in Christmas time
As the whole 2020, also the end of the year is pretty different than we are used to. My December usually included visiting as many Christmas markets as I could.

A guide to Silk Road’s enchanting gem – Khiva
After a quick layover in the capital Tashkent, Khiva was our first stop in Uzbekistan. We have flown to the nearby Urgench and then the owner of a guesthouse where we stayed picked us up at the airport. We arrived in the evening, so it was dark and we didn’t really see anything. In the […]
Best (half) day trips in Central Slovenia Region
We are just finishing our 2-weeks long vacation time. In this time Slovenian government enforced firstly a ban on movement between the statistical regions then a ban of movement between municipalities. All due to rising numbers of people infected with COVID-19. As we live in Central Slovenian Region, I started planning all the trips we […]
